The document outlines the progress and tasks for a People Powered Float Project involving collaboration between a YMCA and Ocean Explorium. The YMCA has submitted CORI forms and will work with children once approved. An educational program on sharks will be conducted for YMCA kids to create shark puppets for a parade float. The float design is complete and materials will be obtained to begin construction after spring break. Updates are needed to the wiki with photos, pages for meetings and collaborators, and progress on projects including the float.
